[CMake] Common Properties in Visual Studio

[David Cole]

Actually, a correction:

Looks like the VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES target property is in CMake 2.8.7 already.

  $ cmake --help-property VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES
  cmake version 2.8.7
    VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES
         Visual Studio managed project .NET references

         Adds one or more semicolon-delimited .NET references to a generated
         Visual Studio project.  For example, "System;System.Windows.Forms".


It's the other commit that will first appear in 2.8.8...
